Oh, for FUCK'S sake.

Aren't TERFs enough? Did we really need to unlock the bonus level where trans people start doing gender-policing against other trans people?

Apparently, yes.

Because now I've encountered the "only people who transition properly are properly trans, and non-binary people are basically cis people who bought a suspiciously cheap ticket on the Trans Train" crowd.

I -
WHAT?

My dears. My beloved little gatekeepers. Have you perhaps considered that the entire fucking problem is your desperate need to put everyone into neat little gender boxes?
"You're not trans enough." "You didn't transition correctly." "You don't pass." "You're too feminine." "You're too masculine." "You're non-binary, so obviously you're just cis."
Congratulations. You have reinvented traditional gender policing, but with pronouns and a progress flag stapled to it.

Trans people, including enbies, do not owe you medical transition, social transition, passing, dysphoria performed to your satisfaction, or a sufficiently convincing audition for the role of Man™️ or Woman™️.

And while we're here: cis people don't owe you traditional gender conformity either.

The whole point is supposed to be that people get to be themselves.

Honestly, anyone carrying around a little set of stereotype-shaped boxes and desperately trying to shove other human beings into them makes me nervous.

PUT THE BOXES DOWN, KAREN. STEP AWAY FROM THE GENDER BINARY. NOBODY NEEDS TO GET HURT.

Someone please send me to bed immediately before I bite somebody's ideology. You may have to use force...

And by Wil Wheaton's sacred beard, if these people make me say "fucking" one more time, someone will have to wash my mouth out with industrial-grade soap and their trusty old pressure cleaner.

I am tired. I am cranky. I am one stupid discourse thread away from becoming a woodland cryptid who only emerges from their cave to yell "LET PEOPLE EXIST" at the moon.

I'll let you in on a little secret:

Trans people don't owe you a look.

Not trans women.
Not trans men.
Not enbies.

And the reason is beautifully, almost painfully simple:

Women can look however they want.
Men can look however they want.
Non-binary people can look however they want.

Long hair. Short hair. No hair. Makeup. Beards. Dresses. Suits. Combat boots. Platform Mary Janes. Hoodies. Glitter. None of it is a membership card.

Gender isn't a costume you're qualified to judge. It isn't hidden in someone's genitals. It isn't measured against your stereotypes, or anyone else's.

The only person who gets to define someone's gender is the person living it.

Everything else is just people mistaking prejudice for insight.

Fifty shades of orange... and none of them subtle.
Today’s office outfit is basically a sunset with attitude -> glowing orange top, juicy nylon kneesocks (toes? cut off... of course), and my brand new bag that’s so bright it probably has its own gravitational pull.

Barefoot, electric blue toenails sparkling under the office lights, black skirt swaying just enough to tease those rainbow Snagtights Chub Rubs peeking through.
Why pick one vibe when you can serve corporate punk witch meets queer fashion gremlin?

It’s giving comfort. It’s giving contrast. It’s giving "Yes, this is my actual work outfit."
And you know what?
It feels sooooo good 🧡
